Bushu:

unknown unknowns --> known unknowns




i see your point, idhi base chesukoni unicorns and dragons existed ante chesedhi emundhi.. yes anatame :D



Savyasachi:

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out"?




i have read about this earlier... Humans until a few years back were lactose intolerant after they become adults. that as babies they had the capacity to consume lactose but once they turned adults, the enzyme that could digest lactose would turnoff.

Apparently human Adults used cheese and yogurt rather than milk for a long time, and slowly humans became lactose tolerant. its believed that middle easterns first developed this ability to consume milk as adults.

never have we encountered fossils a species that relied on wheels for locomotion. does not mean they did not exist, but there is no evidence to suggest that.

Bushu:

you don't know that wheels like limbs did not happen for sure. definitely did not survive. given the early man's terrain, clearly a disadvantage and may not have survived. and now, not needed. kapisch.




vunkl... we go by data so far collected kadha.. never have we encountered fossils a species that relied on wheels for locomotion. does not mean they did not exist, but there is no evidence to suggest that.


In general many hypothesis about past species are built on bone structure,e environment related factors.


Anand_n:

A wheel requires constant contact with the land - it cannot jump over hostile terrain ..legs help put temporary distance off the ground where needed - this is probably why tumbling on land is not a common method of mobility
A wheel has less control to stop start and less grip
You need limbs to climb up and down trees, hills



i think we are underestimating capabilities of a lot species, by only looking at species that can walk and fly. something like a snake needs to be always in contact with the ground. they are one of the most populous species on earth. snakes can slither through all kinds of terrains, so can rolling. :-)

Bushu:




I subscribe to this. what we are seeing is refined versions of survivors. species has died thousands of times before the current generation. in 200 years, lot of species will die and future people would not know about them.

A wheel requires constant contact with the land - it cannot jump over hostile terrain ..legs help put temporary distance off the ground where needed - this is probably why tumbling on land is not a common method of mobility
A wheel has less control to stop start and less grip
You need limbs to climb up and down trees, hills

And/or intelligent design was not intelligent enough to give wheel redundancy in mobility options :-)

Haa..I think oka animal vundi kada...peru gurthu ledu ...which rolls on citing an enemy....of course technically its not wheel but something of that kind...


yeahh..Even if evolution evolved a wheeling mechanism....it might not be how we currently see a wheel... Nature might have it's own design...

Very interesting thread...rough terrain lo wheels ki problem vasthundi...in fact it requires very complex mechanism to go over rocks and everything ..hence most animals(insects or reptiles) crawling chesthaayi...inka big animals aithe weight ekkuva kabatti asalu voohinchadam kashtam..

Haa..I think oka animal vundi kada...peru gurthu ledu ...which rolls on citing an enemy....of course technically its not wheel but something of that kind...

But very interesting insight..

Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its bum


uncle, identifying what is edible and what is not in itself was a huge evolution.... Not just animals, there are enough plants which kill you if you eat them....many would have died trying and their community would have learnt from them passing the knowledge down the generations....

Again, he knows it is an egg and that it is going to become a living thing. He knows it is not excreta. Man is carnivorous anyway. So eating that thing is not that far fetched.

uncle, you understand that evolution works at 100s of thousands of years level right?? Living conditions vary too much over such spans necessitating evolution of newer species

Nenu eppudoo chadivindhi eti ante... they may have started because longer necks have an advantage in reaching otherwise unreachalbe trees, but it seems male giraffes with longer necks have more chance of win in a fight with giraffess with shorter necks, when fighting for food or mainly females, and females are attracted to males with longer necks.. so longer necks had more offsprings which meant offsprings had longer necks.. and within the offsprings the longer necks had more chance to have more offsprings...

Why there are no wheels in nature


Why no biryani in nature ante emi cheptam...

My take is because it is not needed as seen by Mother Nature... Nature do not expect you to travel long distances... From my knowledge only species that travel long distances are birds and they got wings...

my understanding is, evolution primarily focuses on ensuring a species survives and progresses ....It's busy ensuring that and on the way tries to provide what is necessary for that.... If that's not what evolution does, then my understanding of it is wrong




i think your view is simplistic. Think about this, if evolution works at a single species level, why would new species be evolved? if we consider varied species with common ancestors, we see that each species involved to overcome specific challenge in nature. Im not saying survival is not a factor, it seems to be the most important factor for any living being, but evolution is not something that happens consciously. life is reacting to natural challenges and adjusting itself. hippos are the closest living relative a whale.. both living in entirely different habitats, both surviving.

Adding to it the complexity of axle that pretty much leaves a rotating organ that is connected but not connected to rest of the body vessels, is even difficult to imagine.

Mental_sachinodu:

again, visualizing a single limb? how many animals walk on single limb vunkl? grip again depends on the individual species does it not? agree the about brake.



even two or four wheels dont give the animal grip...a greater flats surface will be more useful compared to the least surface area of a wheel...grip and all are more of afeature with flat surfaces that animals twist or add hair like structures to be more effective...think of gecko, lizard ...a semi or circular structure is not useful....stability on wheels yes....

Ipc302:

comaperd to limbs, wheels do not have more surface area, better balancing, grip on the surface...stop and slow down motion is very hard..probably you would need an extra appendage to function as a brake




again, visualizing a single limb? how many animals walk on single limb vunkl? grip again depends on the individual species does it not? agree the about brake.


Thikka_sankara:

ust saying, we already have almost similar if not more complex mechanism in place.... Hanging spheres still connected to the body....so, the axis mechanism must not be overtly unachievable



yes, we have more complicated mechanisms in place and thats exactly begs the question. does it not. we have evolved something like an eye, which is very complicated on the way it functions. but eyes, have evolved over time, and each stage of evolution it was functional enough for species to use them. while in the case of something like a wheel, there are no stages for it to be functional.

vunkl... why did humans create wheels? its a far more superior way to move


because they didn't know how to fly??

Species evolve when there is "survival necessity" wheels do not come under it, we can say wheels are luxury but not necessity!

Mental_sachinodu:

i dont buy the argument vunkl... that nature is not smooth, alot of terrain is smooth, not all animals are built for all terrain. but i agree that there may have never been a need for animal to cover vast distances in relatively faster speeds on terrain to survive.




no need to buy vunkl its free :-)
anyway ayana ivvakapothe enti mem skates konukkunnam ee madhye hoover board kanipettukunnam ..still balance is an issue ..i think peddhayana ee balance vishayam dhristilo pettukoni no wheels anukoni untadu.

Thikka_sankara:

when you have flight, why do you need to roll?? Those that didn't need the flight probably didn't need wheels as well as their necessity for travel is different??




vunkl... why did humans create wheels? its a far more superior way to move. even in robotics, wheels are the second best option next to spider legs although with six legs.


Thikka_sankara:

evolution works only in matters of survival ani naa opinion...



survival yes, but i feel that is not the only criteria. its a question we will probably not know the answer for a long time. Animals moves from waters to land, but then some of them returned back to water. something like a whale which is surving in the deep oceans, is traced back to walking mammals. what was the need when walking animals are still surviving?

anyway my point is about why wheel could not have been a possible limb in the vast variety of limbs in nature.

Mental_sachinodu:

ardham kaledhi vunkl..


that was my response to the below bit alone

Mental_sachinodu:

Adding to it the complexity of axle that pretty much leaves a rotating organ that is connected but not connected to rest of the body vessels, is even difficult to imagine.


just saying, we already have almost similar if not more complex mechanism in place.... Hanging spheres still connected to the body....so, the axis mechanism must not be overtly unachievable

Mental_sachinodu:

are you imagining larger animals when you say this. imagine an animal that can fly like a bee and roll like a little car, something like a cockroach or a rodent


when you have flight, why do you need to roll?? Those that didn't need the flight probably didn't need wheels as well as their necessity for travel is different??

Anyway, evolution works only in matters of survival ani naa opinion...everything else is acquired or learnt skill... Neninthe movie lo dialogue untundi....

I too get this doubt, my take is Wheels move avvalante smooth surface kaavali ,nature lo alantidhi ledhu human being evolve ayyaka roads lantivi cheskunnadu locomotion kosam.
Oka vela roads or something like road was part of nature ayyunte manam wheels tho evolve ayyevaallamemo..ante God wheels petti puttinche vademo.

Eyes??? Hanging elleptical spheres??
Bolls?? Hanging spheres???



ardham kaledhi vunkl.. im not saying spheres are complicated to build by nature, im just saying the sphere need to be built fully for it to be functional and cannot be in stages.


Thikka_sankara:

And to navigate terrain like forests or mountains etc etc, wheels are useless....

Anyway, in my eyes , wheels are not necessary for the early primitives .... Roads were developed much later... And to navigate terrain like forests or mountains etc etc, wheels are useless....

ofcourse assuming we are biproducts of evolution :D or the reason could be God works in mysterious ways.

Last night talking to my son about cars and wheels, and locomotion in general and in nature -

was asking him questions like

How many wheels does a aeroplane have?
how many wheels does dad's car have?
How many legs does bella have?
How many legs does dad have?
How many legs does a bird have?
How many legs does a turtle have?
what does the bird use for flying?
what does the bird use for walking?
does fish have legs?

then it occurred to me why no species has wheels for locomotion, a design that is supremely more efficient in covering long distances at good page. I know there are animals that curl up in to a ball and role, but not an animal that has wheels for moving.

as usual, useless questions meedha time spend cheyatam oka hobby.. turns out alot of folks had this question on mind. It turns out Wheels are very sophisticated and need an advanced engineering capability to get it right. a wheel cannot be built in stages, which is the nature of evolution, each part evolves in stages, and each stage has its own functioning use. no animal would not have gained any use out of non-rotating rudimentary wheel, such an organ would have never developed. Adding to it the complexity of axle that pretty much leaves a rotating organ that is connected but not connected to rest of the body vessels, is even difficult to imagine.
